very simple idea - though she makes it sound more complex than it is - ne me quitte pas means 'dont leave me' and in the song she says 'if you are a deity (god) of any sort' in the first verse and in the second she replaces it with 'ghost of christmas past' and the third verse it becomes 'ghost of new york city' - all are just references to god -- though the song is made in her silly way - the concept is simply -
if you are the good god the good book claims you to be.. then dont leave us now..
its a sweet and innocent prayer of sorts saying, if you are the good guy ive heard you to be.. protect us frail things ..
her lyrics can confuse you if you take them on a surface level.. shes very playful with words
